The leftwing Neo-Nazi web magazine Counterpunch has described Plaut thus: "One of the most pernicious writers is Steven Plaut, a man who could be thought of as Israel's Daniel Pipes."

There are more than one million Israeli Arabs -- more than 15 percent ofIsrael.s population. These Israeli citizens have shown widespread supportfor Iran, causing the Israeli security establishment to worry. Israel.sGeneral Security Service (GSS), the Israeli equivalent of the FBI, haswarned about an alarming increase of subversive activity on behalf of Iranby Israel.s Arab minority.

This past week, the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs issued a reportentitled .Iran Is Building .Hamastan. in Gaza," which documents how Iranis establishing a base in nearby Gaza, premised on .a growing strategicalliance between Iran and the radical Palestinian forces..

It has not been forgotten that the PLO, the harbinger of local Arabrevolution, was the first sponsor of the successful Iranian revolution.Iran was the first and only Islamic nation ever to hand over an Israeliembassy to the PLO. And Iran now emerges as the greatest champion ofPalestinian Arab Islamic nationalism.

Last summer, the elected officials of the Israeli Arab members of theIsraeli Knesset Parliament showed support for Hezbollah's missile attackson Israel. Since then, Israel.s security establishment has launched itsown investigation of Israel.s Arab minority.

Recently, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert met with GSS Director YuvalDiskin and other high-ranking security officials concerning the Arabminority in Israel, where the GSS provided a report to the Prime Ministerconcerning the continual decline in its identification with the state, therise of subversive elements within it and the dangers that lie therein.Some high-ranking security officials said that the turn of events withinthe Arab minority constituted "the real, long term strategic threat" tothe very existence of Israel as a Jewish state.

The GSS reports there has been a rise in the Israeli Arabs' identificationwith the Palestinian terrorist organizations, and a rise in theiridentification with Iran, Hezbollah and other groups that reject thelegitimacy of Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state. All of this isdone publicly and openly, and has been accompanied by incitement by thelocal Israeli Arab political leadership. That incitement has not been yetbeen dealt with by Israel.s law enforcement community. The GSS assessmentindicates that the separatist and subversive trends that are reflected bythe Israeli Arab leadership are liable to set the agenda and sweep themasses behind them.

One American organization that provides financial help to the Israeli Arabcommunity to develop itself as a .Palestinian religious and nationalethnic community. is the New Israel Fund. The GSS is now looking into thework of the NIF to determine whether this outside organization is anelement that encourages subversive activity amongst the Israeli Arabpopulation.

THE FEAR FACTOR

68 percent of the Jewish population in Israel fears the possibility thatIsraeli Arabs will begin a popular rebellion, while 63 percent do notenter Arab communities in Israel, according to a new poll issued this weekby Haifa University. Meanwhile, 64.4 percent of Israeli Jewish citizensfear that the Arab citizens endanger national security because of theirhigh birth rate, while 83.1 percent fear Israeli Arabs support of thePalestinians' struggle and 73 percent believe that most of the Arabcitizens will be more loyal to the state of Palestine than to the state ofIsrael.

Clearly the Israeli Fifth Column is hard at work trying to tear thecountry apart -- and Iran is more than happy to help.
